Okay. So my last post simply got lost in cyberspace. Fine. Well, as a good spirited Newbie, I'm posting again in hopes that some guru'll get around to my post.
Ok. Running Red Hat 7.1.
Symptoms:
Running sndconfig on a Non-Pnp ISA Aztech Washington 16 after tinkering with the IRQ's, DMAs, IO, etc... The sound card works fine. So, I restart (or start) linux & try to run a simple xmms, mpg123, whatever sound i desire & two things happen. The entire system freezes(for a couple of milliseconds) in short periodic bursts. Well, switching to any console & the following message appears:
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
This explains the bursts, but, I kill the proc. Go back into sndconfig, run even the same IRQs & presto. The card works again.
Running dmesg says this:
ad1848/cs4248 codec driver ....
ad1848: Interrupt test failed (IRQ#) [where # is the IRQ assigned in sndconfig].
/proc/interrupts, as well as, sndconfig say the interrupts I'm chosing are fine (7,9,10 for the curious). I haven't the faintest clue what modprobe, insmod, rmmod, ect. do (as far as going in & fixing the problem). But I suppose that could be my solution, & yes I've read the wonderful man pages on the mod_family.
Question finally: This is the third post & it's annoying to have to reconfigure my punny (or puny) or pewny com-pewter's sound config every friggen time I (re)boot. Therefore, I apologize for the disertation on what my_Linux_Homeschooling has taught me.
Can anyone tell me if at the least a simple commandline after the module failes to load will solve me' problem or do i have to do what any standard geek would do & buy a new sound card (sorry geeks, not an option)?
